The Abundant Alternative to Financial Planning
Our Mission
Our mission is to learn the whole truth about money and apply it daily, teach it to clients and guide our nation onto more solid economic ground. Our focus is on sustainable financial solutions that have stood the test of time. We employ common-sense principles and strategies that preceded the rise of 401ks and the financial planning industry. The Prosperity Economics Movement goes beyond any one financial advisor, product or strategy. It is a new philosophy that espouses tried-and-true principles such as saving safely, creating cash-flowing assets, and using permanent insurance when appropriate.
Who & How We Serve
We serve consumers seeking to build wealth, but who are wary of traditional methods espoused by corporate financial advisors. We provide education on the concept of Prosperity Economics available through our media archive (links to blog, podcasts, books) and consultations. We also provide guidance for connecting to a financial advisor trained in the Prosperity Economics methodology. Prosperity Economics represents a different way of thinking, an alternative to “typical” financial planning’s reliance on mutual funds and tax-deferred government programs. Unlike some “typical” financial strategies, it teaches investors NOT to delegate control of their assets to their broker, their employer, or the government.
Our Story
The Prosperity Economics Movement is 501c3 organization founded in 2014 to ensure the legacy of our alternative approach to financial planning. Our Founders, Kim D. H. Butler and Todd Langford, envisioned an organization that would transcend the typical financial planning concept of “better than nothing” approach that only gets people half way up the hill. Instead, the Prosperity Economics Advisor shows you how to reach the “mountaintops” of prosperity.
Our Philosophy
Prosperity Economics
VS
Financial Planning
Pursues wants and dreams
Meets needs and goals only
Based on unlimited ideas of “what is possible”
Based on limited ideas of what you can afford
Optimizes opportunities
Minimizes requirements
“How else can I build wealth?” mindset
“How much do I have to save?”
Strategy-oriented (what you do)
Product oriented (what you buy)
Based on the time-tested principles and financial philosophies used to build wealth
Focus is primarily on buying certain products
Focused on recovering opportunity cost
Focused on rate-of-return
Keep more money working for you
“How much is this earning me?”
You control your money
Institutions control your money
Maintain responsibility for and access to your assets and funds
Put your assets “under management” (and/or give control to the government)
Macro (big picture) based
Micro (vacuum) based
View your whole personal economy
Focus in on your portfolio
Cash flow is measurement
Net worth is measurement
The goal is more money to enjoy each month
A bigger portfolio is the goal
Abundant/Freedom oriented
Retirement oriented
Enjoy your work and your life - all life long
Your reward for work is not working
Spends and replaces principle
Lives only on interest
A flexible, sustainable way to live
At the mercy of interest rates, with fingers crossed you don't need to use this principle
Money moves
Money stays still
Your personal economy is alive and well: money flows in and out of accounts
Assets are accumulated into accounts where they sit, financially “stagnant”
